To all 'it concern; Be-it known hat I, JULIUS E. WEIssnN residentof-QStT Louis,-. Missouri, 'have"in vented certain new and usefulImprovements in,Py otechn'ic Pictures, of which the following is -aspecification;

My invention relates to improvements pyrotechnic pictu'respandhas forits object to provide a picture depicted upon inflammable. material, andcontaining re re'senta-' tions of. weapons or projectilesan targetsWith"traveling linesof fire, indicating thepaths of theprojectiles,mines located within effect of the target being struck bythe pro-. jectile, while the weapons'denicted upon the picture' areprovided with material, which, when ignited, produce'aseries of minuteand 1 my invent the targets, and whose explosion, depicts theintermittent explosions. I

In the drawingsfFigure 1 is a-pla'n view of ,a device embodying myinvention, Fig. 2' is a bottom view of thesame; Fig. 31cmbodi'esarepresentation of'the application of when but a single weapon andtargetrare pictedl' lnthevffo In of my ini'entionshown in Fig.

neath the battle ship 8, I provide the expl'o s v-e cap. 15, betweenwhich cap" 15 and mine 14, a fuse 16 is provided;

. In the form illustrated cannon -9, 'mine, 14, fuse 16-, andexplosivecap '15-,are indicated. v

The fuse being 'ignited'from the front of the picture at the pointsindicated by :1:

marks '10 and 17, the fuselll, in the case of the form of my inventionillustrated in Fi 1, burns until the explosive cap 13 is reached. Themine 14 is ignited at the same time as :the fuse 16', when the fire isapplied to the pointindicated by the :0 mark 17, and. thereupon the minegives off a series of minute and lntermlttent exploslons;

The fuses 11 and 16 being ofthe same length, their ignition results inthe simultaneous" explosion of the explosive caps Band 15,. indicatingthe destruction of the vessels and 8 depicted in Fig. 1.

cap 15,- whenexploded, indicates the de struction of the vessel 8.

Havin thus fully described my invention, what I c aim as new and desireto have'secured to me by the grant-of Letters Pat fuse, substantially asdescribed.

In testimonyfwhereof, I have signed my name to this specificationsubscribingwitnesses.
